I absolutely recommend Quail Corners as the best veterinary hospital I know in terms of quality of services, knowledge, and genuine compassion for animals. I have been a client of this hospital since 1986. Although a few of the faces have changed over time, this facility has consistently provided the highest quality of care to my own pets as well as the fosters and rescues I have helped.
As a long-time client who has experience with both their regular and after hours services, I hope anyone who reads this will give due consideration to my review. I have had to take my pets, fosters, and rescues to the after-hours emergency clinic so many times over the years that I know the staff very well and cannot imagine them responding in the way the unhappy reviewer described. Their primary concern is to provide immediate care to any needy animal who comes in their door, and they do not base treatment decisions on its status as a valued pet or an unclaimed stray. May I remind this person that nail trims and ear cleanings are standard care practices an owner should be regularly providing for the pet's comfort and hygiene. It attests to the thoroughness of the care provided by this facility that they noticed this neglect, in addition to other health issues, and immediately began to take what practical steps they could to make this "stray" as comfortable as possible - even before knowing if the owner would ever appear or if they would ever be compensated.
As for the price complaint, all I can say is, a responsible owner knows that having a pet - and doing the right thing by it - does not always come cheap. For me, the assurance of knowing there is going to be a knowledgeable professional available 24/7 is worth the fee involved. You would pay a higher price for a hospital emergency room, an after-hours plumber, locksmith, etc. all for the convenience - why is this any different? Had they not been available that night, your dog might have wandered further away or been run over - instead of being kept safe and tended to, just so you could go get her and give these hard-working people a rough time.
